From the pulpit to prison, John Lee Bishop’s story is almost too wild to believe. In The Church of Living Dangerously Podcast, he takes you from A to Z — the rise of a megachurch in a K-Mart, the stunts that drew crowds, the secret struggles that led to a drug Cartel, and the fall that ended in federal prison. Raw, unfiltered, and redemptive, this is a true story of faith, failure, and finding grace in the darkest places.

For thirty years, John Bishop was a pastor. Along the way, he learned that everyone does stupid things. We lie to our families. We lie to ourselves. We take long lunch breaks and sneak cigarettes when we said we’d quit. Sometimes, we take a sabbatical from our nice, comfortable life as a pastor and start running drugs for the Sinaloa Cartel, then get caught and spend five years in federal prison.

Dangerous churches should be norm. Church leaders and church people alike shrink back from danger because we want safety. Jesus said that he's overcome the world and its troubles. Dangerous churches put everything on the line for the one thing that matters most: reaching lost people.It's dangerous not to be a dangerous church. The book is less about methods or even the message of God, but about a church that risks everything it has to reach lost people.
